Profile establishes your investment mandate; your intent. In addition to giving a strategy a name and description, it allows you to determine its horizon (e.g. short, long) and investment style (growth versus income etc) against a benchmark of your choice (e.g. S&P ASX 200 or a specific sector).

The three remaining pillars of Value, Risk and Momentum are used to hone your intent.
